<Tom 7> I haven't abandoned the airport series, I just haven't been traveling since January. =)
<bpotetz> Agreed - nicely done.
I was going to comment on how you abandoned the airport series in favor of the letter series, but then I realized that three letter levels is kind of like having an airport level. |

<bpotetz> Craptastic, Max!
<Max> Oh man, I guess I'll have to make another version after you cook this one! You know, for the sake of completeness.
<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Dammit, this is more annoying than I thought because I can't just replay my solution for the first part. ;)
BTW I am planning to cook this level--there is a shorter path than the one I think you intended for the laser maze at the right, because one of the lasers that appears isn't actually in your path. Hah! |

<Tom 7> Good, I'm glad it has a little difficulty, at least. It's sometimes hard to tell with these tiny ones.
<Max> This one is surprisingly hard for its size! Very clever. |

<Max> Ha, yeah, it did take a while, but it's only fair. ;)
<Tom 7> LOL, max.
I'm glad you went through the trouble of solving this one just to torment us. ;) |

<Max> Yeah, and what's with the low style ratings? This level is beautiful! |

<Tom 7> How could you guys rate this as anything but 0 for difficulty and 10 for rigidity? THERE IS ONLY ONE MOVE TO MAKE AND IT CAUSES YOU TO WIN! |

<Tom 7> This is a really cool level.. it needs a new kind of reasoning that I haven't seen before.
It also serves as a good worst-case test for the new panel animations (which perhaps make the level more confusing, anyway)... |

<bpotetz> (SPOILER) That's normal. For me, this one got easier much sooner than that.
<Tom 7> Yeah, sokoban does always get easier after the first block or two comes out, huh? |

I am interested to see how long you can hold out, solving every level that is uploaded! |

<Tom 7> As near as I can tell, this level was made as a sort of fan tribute to a handheld radio shack sokoban game called IQ Carrier. Since John Polhemus submitted it to another free Sokoban program, I'm assuming that he's okay with it being in the Escape collection.
I'm perfectly happy to have Sokoban-style levels in Escape (Joshua Bone's levels are really great, for instance), but of course I can't permit copyrighted levels from other games to be used. Unless it's really obviously a copy, I'll leave them until someone complains. Anyway, it's better if the levels are original compositions, don't you think? |

<bpotetz> (SPOILER) This is a good kind of Sokoban puzzle. It starts out hard, and then once you get the right idea, the whole thing unravels like a sweater. |

<bpotetz> I must be completely OCD to solve this level AFTER having solved Hard IQ Carrier. |

<bpotetz> I agree, Max. This level was a snooze. Don't attempt this level unless you've got something else going on to amuse yourself. Maybe books on tape.
Anyway, I was also wondering - what the hell is "IQ Carrier" supposed to mean, anyway? A quick google search reveals that IQ Carrier is a collection of Sokoban levels that were removed from the macintosh shareware distribution because "they are evidently still sold commercially in Japan". Better start working on your defense, Tom. Interestingly, the original level this was based on seems to more closely resemble Tom's version, where each block is needed. (See:
www.sourcecode.se/sokoban/levtext.php?file=TitleScreens.slc
)
Unfortunately, I still have no idea what "IQ carrier" means. Maybe you have to be Japanese. |
